Why do I download and burn five (six with the Rescue CD) Redhat ISO images and only use the first two? Just curious, since most of the install is on CD 1 -- and a little bit of it is on CD 2, what's on 3-5? I'm guessing KDE stuff comes in there...but couldn't there be selective FC CD sets? Like for example, If you want the standard Gnome install, download CDs 1 and 2. Is all the source there also? Sorry for the stupid question.

This one is easy to fix.
Just download the rescue.iso and install FC with one of the network options. FTP or HTTP.
This is what I'm using, no need to change CD's and installer takes all the files it needs. No extra downloads...
